Alex, Damon, Dave and Graham
met on Monday to discuss about the future of Blur. Alex told
the meeting went well, but the band won't be
returning to the studio soon.

"Rumours of another Blur
record are greatly exaggerated, but that lunch happened
yesterday," Alex wrote in his regular
The Independent column [link down] (spotted by saltandgin at the
official Blur forums).

He continued: "Lunch was
nice. It was just lunch. There are no immediate plans to go
into the studio, but they all liked my cheese."

Update added
October
5, 2007:

A message at
blur.co.uk says: "In light
of recent press speculation, blur.co.uk would like to confirm
that, Alex, Damon, Dave and Graham met for an enjoyable lunch
on Monday, but there are currently no other music plans for
Blur."

Graham has commented the
meeting went well and they're all becoming friends again,
although Blur isn't that important part of their lives
anymore.
